Answer:

x = - 5, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 5 and - 3, since

5 × - 3 = - 15 and 5 - 3 = + 2, hence

(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x- intercepts at (- 5, 0) and (3, 0)

Answer:

276m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area = 2(25*2) + 2(40*2) + 4(2*2)

area = 2(50) + 2(80) + 4(4)

area = 100 + 160 + 16

area = 276m^2

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:  40 miles

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the number of miles and y represent the total cost

U-Haul: y = 0.75x + 49.95

ABC:     y = 0.50x + 59.95

Use substitution method to solve for x:

0.75x + 49.95 = 0.50x + 59.95

0.25x + 49.95 =              59.95         <em>subtracted 0.50x from both sides</em>

0.25x               =              10.00          <em>subtracted 49.95 from both sides</em>

                   x   =    40                        <em>divided 0.25 from both sides</em>
